    As an engineer who works on machine learning for physical systems:

    This conversation is happening, it’s just not engineers who decide what’s getting built. We absolutely can automate shitty jobs nobody wants, and with a better economic system we’ll do it. We’ve been overdue to end involuntary labor for a century.

    Also people keep rejecting the drain clog robot idea because they’re afraid of pipe robots attacking their butts.

      I’d like to say that no matter what direction we go into the future, I am definitely not okay with a pipe robot attacking my butt.

      We already have the drain clogging robots, though. They are widely used by utility companies to force the payments in places where disconnecting other utilities is illegal.
